Cape Colony instead?

If the events of the novel is set in the 19th century, then this would be before the Republic of South Africa or the Union of South Africa came into being. In the 19th century, the country was the Cape Colony. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 02:48, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. I believed and thought since the colony itself is now part of South Africa, it would fall into this country's information. So my question is: Would we move the information to a new page, Cape Colony, and just delete this page? Cause the only mention of the country is the small page of Boskop.

Can always just keep it as South Africa, and also note the Boskop stuff in it too.VilkaIsBack (talk) 04:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

We can keep it as "South Africa" as a broader concept of an entity encompassing the Cape Colony, the Boer Republics, the Union of South Africa, and the Republic of South Africa together. These are multiple states which can be grouped together in one history. In that case, we would use the country infobox rather than the regime infobox. But can you guys clarify whether the name "South Africa" actually appears in The Magus Conspiracy or is it called the Cape Colony or something else?

They mention "Cape Town" and the "southern coast of Africa" thats it. VilkaIsBack (talk) 23:54, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
